Can ritalin and concerta stimulants show up in a urine drug screen? I take those medications, and twice now I've tested positive for cocaine. I haven't did any coke, since back in the 1990's. If anyone can help answer my questions, and give me some documentation, that I can show my probation officer. I'd be very thankful!

not likely at all, ritalin/concerta would not show up as cocaine in a urine screen. in fact the 5 panel or even the ten panel test do not test for ritalin. ritalin is a methlphenidate not an amphetamine. highly unlikely for the test to show as a false positive.
